Obama to Republicans: 'stop just hatin' all the time' Polls_barack_obama_smiling_3158_961732_answer_2_xlarge

Washington (CNN) -- It's the wildest dream of tea party extremists: the ultimate political comeuppance for the liberal President they love to hate.

Since the day Barack Obama got elected to the White House, they have wanted to force him out.

First, it was the birth certificate. Then, it was the bailouts. A succession of other allegedly impeachable issues followed: IRS targeting, the Benghazi terrorist attack, executive branch overreach.

But it's not going to happen, even if Republicans take back the Senate and retain their House majority in the November congressional elections. Here's why:

No chance: The numbers just don't add up. Under the most optimistic election result for Republicans, they would be far short of the two-thirds Senate majority needed to convict Obama if the House passed articles of impeachment.

Also, a CNN/ORC International Poll last week showed nearly that two in three respondents opposed impeaching the President.

GOP leaders such as House Speaker John Boehner know all that, and so they're trying to tamp down the expectations of their conservative base.

"We have no plans to impeach the President," Boehner said this week. "We have no future plans."

House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, who may have presidential ambitions in 2016, also quashed the possibility, saying Wednesday that "this does not rise to the high crimes and misdemeanors level" of impeachment.

'Stop just hatin' all the time': Meanwhile, Obama and Democrats talk up the threat to raise money and inspire their supporters to turn out in November.

"Don't boo. Vote," Obama told a Kansas City, Missouri, crowd that voiced its displeasure Wednesday over GOP tactics he criticized.

The President cited the vote by House Republicans authorizing Boehner to sue him over executive actions, saying Congress should instead be passing legislation.

"They're mad because I'm doing my job," Obama said of his Republican foes, urging them to "stop just hatin' all the time."

Hey Ben...It's not that he is liberal. It's that he is Black. The US is a fundamentally racist nation.

They want to shut down rather than deal with him.

I hope Obama keeps it up. In fact, I wouldn't put it past him to say "stop hatin'" just to draw out the racists. Obama to Republicans: 'stop just hatin' all the time' Kkk

He's heading that way.  There's no salvation for anything major during his administration.  The McConnell/Boehner doctrine (oppose good government so the opposition fails) assures, at best, a complete stand-still.

So Obama has the time, and the incentive to make this a period in which he repeatedly calls Republicans out for their childishness and selfishness.  From there, however, he needs to establish the connection to causes.  Why is Obama the target, where no white Democrat has been the focus of the Republican malice?  

It's racism.  I'm sure he feels a bit self-conscious, begin Black himself, bringing this up.  But, did Dr. Martin Luther King have such reservations?  Does Rev. Al Sharpton?  Perhaps Obama feels he will alienate parts of his base if he does so, but I don't see the risk.  Or the gain outweighs the risk.  Anyway, there are subtle ways he could do this--constantly bringing it up so the nation is reminded--that will yield votes come election day.

The Democratic base is anti-racism...so what's to lose?
